Starfield | Microsoft plans Starfield launch for PlayStation 5

953 View2024-02-05
For many weeks now, rumours have persisted regarding Microsoft’s intentions to release a number of 1st party games – namely Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves – on rival platforms.

Starfield released back in August of 2023 to fairly positive reception (despite the narrative that now exists online), and was the biggest Bethesda game launch of all time, surpassing 6 million players within a week of release. Now it looks as though Microsoft are planning on bringing Betheda’s newest RPG universe to an entirely new platform – PlayStation 5.

According to sources, we understand that currently Microsoft are planning a launch for Starfield on PlayStation 5 post the release of the already announced “Shattered Space” expansion for Xbox and PC, which is on target to arrive at some point later this year. We’ve also been informed that Microsoft have made additional investment into PlayStation 5 dev kits to support ongoing development efforts – adding further fuel to the fire.

As the already existing rumours have suggested, the idea of bringing 1st party titles to competing console platforms marks a massive change in strategy for Microsoft and from what I understand, it’s not been without fierce internal debate on this new direction. Releasing Starfield on PlayStation 5 contradicts the original statement around exclusivity made by President of Xbox Sarah Bond, during the Xbox and Bethesda Games Studios summer showcase of 2021.

Starfield is here, BUT is it worth your $70? (60-sec. Review)
Starfield is Bethesda’s return to RPGs since Skyrim and Fallout 4. It is an open-world, sci-fi space exploration role-playing game that puts players in the shoes of another soul in the vastness of the universe, but a soul with a unique destiny set out for them. The game realizes its world and spacefaring fantastically. There is a lot of customization and the gunplay feels good. Taking to the stars for the first time is also quite the experience. Starfield, however, has some rather obtuse issues, like the lack of a designated map and the segues between gameplay and mechanics integration.
